“True, but just remember, he didn’t have to do this.” She looks at me with sympathetic eyes.

“You know it’s just so he can control the situation, don’t you?” I lift my head to look at her.

“Yep, and one day you will thank me when I tell you this little secret I discovered. Giving up control in certain places with a man is a nirvana you never knew existed.” With that, Felisha stands, and I shake my head at her.

“So you say.” To be honest, I don’t even want to think about anything, let alone her sex life.

“Call me if you need me, even at three am. You know our rule.” She holds up her hand, and I hook my little finger into hers.

“Okay.” I remember back to when we left home for the first time and moved into an apartment near the university. We made a pact between us that no matter where we were or who we were with, if we needed each other, we would pick up the phone and be there. Including in the middle of sex, which has happened on the odd occasion, but I’ve never told her. Because she will always mean more to me than any guy. Although I’m not sure she could say the same now with Flynn in the picture. But I understand that and know that she would still take that phone call if I called, and Flynn would be annoyed at her if she didn’t.

“I’m going to hug you now and don’t you dare push me away. I don’t care if you need it or not, but I do.” Smiling at me, she leans down and wraps her arms around me and squeezes me tight, and I won’t admit it, but I desperately need it too.

“Thank you,” I whisper and then pull back because it’s been long enough.

Felisha just nods at me and then turns and leaves me in the room on my own.

The décor is nothing like I imagined it would be. But to be honest, he likely probably just paid someone to come in and decorate the whole apartment when he moved in, and I doubt he would have changed it since. Nothing like me, who renovated my last apartment three times before I purchased my new one. I might have given it a paint and all new furniture when I moved in, but this renovation is a ridiculous one. It would have probably been cheaper to buy something new, but I love the location and layout so much that I was prepared for the pain I’m currently in to come out the other side with the most perfect home that I will love.
